CESNET Conference 2008 is organised by CESNET, two years after the 10th CESNET anniversary conference in 2006. This event also fulfils the promised beginning of a tradition of regular bi-annual conferences focusing on advances in high-speed communication technologies, Grids, related middleware and their sophisticated applications.
Conference topics
This year conference focuses on areas that stay behind not only the network itself, but are the basic building bricks of general e-Infrastructures. The three major topics are:
Conceptual, technical, and organizational aspects of the broadly understood security in networks, Grids, and generic e-Infrastructures; classical (like Kerberos and PKI) and novel (federations) approaches to authentication; new authorization mechanisms, tools, and infrastructures that could serve networks and Grids together; security in sensor networks and peer to peer systems; security in healthcare and other sensitive application areas; the concept of trust and its implementation in distributed systems
Software components that lie between individual components and the vision of the hidden complexity of large-scale distributed systems like networks, and grids; planning and scheduling algorithms and systems; multimedia and other large capacity demanding content distribution; overlay and user empowered networks, ROI; security related middleware
Virtual networks, computing nodes and data depots; virtual clusters and Grids; novel techniques in network virtualization; virtual organizations, user and resource management; new addressing and identification paradigms
The Call for Papers is now open! It is possible to download it here.
